Bottle it up.
There’s always a flipside to too much alcohol, no not the hangover, but yes, the bottles.
We love our bottles. The weirder the shape, the more we love it. The Old Monk bottles are a particular favourite, not just for its contents, but think about it, isn’t it like the Ambassador car of bottles? A funny, round and strangely funky shape. We suggest you paint the Old Monk bottle yourself to find out exactly what we’re talking about. Here are a couple of things we did.
Painted Beer Bottles
All you’ll need is a beer bottle (we used Kingfisher, Mr Mallya needs us right now), some white acrylic paint and a brush.
Make abstract patterns like we did or paint anything you like.
Here’s a tip:
If its been a while since you held a brush, use a crayon to mark your drawing on the bottle.
The Technicolor winter bottle
on wabi-sabi.
- "if an object or expression can bring about, within us, a sense of serene melancholy and a spiritual longing, then that object could be said to be wabi-sabi."— asymmetry, asperity, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and processes.
